Posted by Eugene Volokh: Another Wording Conundrum: Leafleter (as I wrote) or leafleteer (as the editors made it)? Quick LEXIS and google searches reveal a near tie, and I don't feel strongly on the subject, so I defer to the editors.
But I hadn't even thought of "leafleteer" as an option, though I take it the analogy is to "pamphleteer." (I'd never say "pamphleter," but that's probably because "to pamphlet" is rarely used as a verb, while "to leaflet" is often used that way, and standard word formation rules thus give us "leafleter.") _______________________________________________ Volokh mailing list [email protected] http://highsorcery.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/volokh
